Petition: Demand #NoKill 45,000 Wild Horses & Burros in Holding

We request that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) return the 45,000 captive wild horses and burros, now at risk of being killed, back to public land Herd Areas established with the 1971 Free Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act.

The 45,000 captive wild horses and burros are being hoarded in taxpayer funded ranches and holding facilities to make room for commercial livestock, fracking and other industries on public land. The BLM makes more than $4.3 billion annually from onshore oil and gas development, so they should have taken care of the wild horses and burros they chased off public land to rake in all that profit. But instead, the Wild Horse & Burro Advisory Board has recommended that the BLM kill all the captive 45,000 wild horses and burros they unjustly call “unadoptable”.

The BLM claims the 45,000 captive mustangs and burros are “unadoptable” because they were not picked at adoption events, and thus received 3-Strikes or are over the age of 10. But that’s not true. These adorable captive wild horses and burros were never given a fair chance at finding loving adoptive homes or sanctuaries.

The public is outraged. Wild horses and burros are living symbols of freedom and the pioneering spirit of the American West.

After seeing the video, someone came forward to take the pair and give them a loving forever home. Sadly, the BLM made it difficult and unpleasant for the potential new owner, who was in tears at one point because the BLM was giving her such a hard time with the paperwork. I provided support to keep everything on track and then shortly afterwards we delivered the two 3-Strike mustang mares to their safe forever home.

Since the BLM is not doing their job to publicize available wild horses and burros, and since their customer service is rotten, it’s wrong to call the 45,000 captive wild horses and burros “unadoptable”. They were not given a fair chance. Now that the BLM wants to KILL them all.

Sign this petition to ask that BLM put all the wild horses and burros back on public land to save tax-payer dollars and safeguard their lives. If needed, water wells could be drilled in Herd Areas thus still saving taxpayers millions of dollars. It’s time to restore the natural ecological balance in the West, prevent catastrophic wildfires and #PutMustangsBack.

why would you do such a horrible thing to these poor animals? Can’t you just leave them where they are? God created animals for us to enjoy, not to abuse, kill, starve, experiment on and the list goes on and on. I hope you do the right thing and let them back where you rounded them up with this distorted decision!!!!!!!!!

We cannot allow the this miscarriage of our laws, morals or ethics. This is the USofA and not a for-private enterprise / for-profit only nation. The lines between the users and abusers with their friends in politics and government jobs are non-existent imo, and both antiAmerican and antiPatriotic, among other unscrupulous ways of operating in this nation.

I am BEYOND tired of the BLM killing every wild animal in the United States. STOP Wildlife in this country is not the issue it is the humans wanting to have their wallets OVERFLOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STOP, STOP, STOP rounding up America’s, MY, wild horses and burros. Admit it! The real reason you do so is to give cattle ranchers’ herds access to grazing on public lands, NOT to control the wild horse populations! Nature does that all by herself, thank you very much. GET OUT of the business of “controlling” wild horse and burro populations (i.e. playing GOD). WILD HORSES AND BURROS belong on public lands, NOT CATTLE.

What is wrong with you people? These horses and burros are supposed to be protected by you, not brutalized and murdered. If you didn’t already know, these precious animals have feelings, experience pain, loneliness ,loss of family,etc. Please let them go back to their homes with their families and do not sell to killers. Take care of them. I am a taxpayer, and I do not think you are doing your job. I pay your salary and at this time I must say YOU’RE FIRED!!!!

I see no legitimate need whatsoever for the government to control the population of wild animals except if they are facing extinction. You don’t just go wiping out the population of a species because you think there may be too many. Nature will find it’s proper balance if you leave them alone.
